crock pot turkey meatballs in italian sauce

Err... More recipes. I don't have a whole lot of other meaningful content prepared right now :o). But I hope all of you lovelies had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Christopher's aunt made an extremely delicious sweet potato casserole and now I should probably spend the rest of the day in the gym... moving on...

A couple weeks ago (I think) I mentioned that we managed to get Ryann to eat the same meal as us. Well, this is it. Minus the noodles, she acted like the noodles were the most disgusting thing she has ever tasted. Seriously, she was freaking out about the stupid noodles. BUT, this kid has CHOWED DOWN on meatballs lately. She loves them.

I think this is a very family friendly recipe. It is pretty much spaghetti and meatballs. I've added LOTS of bell peppers to the mix because that is the one vegetable I can guarentee Ryann will eat. So pretty much every meal we've had lately includes bell peppers... I'm sure you could make this even easier (I used frozen meatballs) by just using a store bought spaghetti sauce, but I prefer it this way. Oh and this filled my little crock pot to the brim. I really thought the thing might explode. Use a slightly larger one :o).

You can always patty your own meatballs and throw in veggie puree (carrot, butternut squash or sweet potato -- i buy baby food rather than taking the time to steam and puree -- unless i have left overs) and Miss Ryann may not notice!
